«I don’t have any evidence either way, but I am not
sure that is the right question. For me, the question is what it means to
believe. The thing is, against all my better judgement, I find it
impossible not to believe, or at the very least not to be
engaged in the inquiry of such a thing, which in a way is the
same thing. My life is dominated by the notion of God, whether it is His
presence or His absence. I am a believer – in both God’s presence and His
absence. I am a believer in the inquiry itself, more so than the result of that
inquiry. (...)
In the end, with all respect, I haven’t the stomach
for atheism and its insistence on what we know. (...) I share many of the problems
that atheists have toward religion – the dogma, the extremism, the hypocrisy,
the concept of revelation with its many attendant horrors – I am just at
variance with the often self-satisfied certainty that accompanies the idea that
God does not exist.»
